by many men, women, and children bearin,
baskets, hampers, and boquetS OF rare and beau.
tlful flowers, which they strewed with loving
hands upon the graves Of the dead. The air was
1ull OF the fragrance OF the flowers and over all
rested ala air OF the most complete peace and quiet
During the services the little children played upon
the grass under the trees and mingled their melo-
ulouS voices with the sweet chirping OF the birds
